Crinum x digweedii 'Red Flare' is a Marcelle Sheppard introduction of a Steve Lowe cross between the wild collected Crinum 'Marisco' (aka; 'Vera Cruz') and a Mexican collection of Crinum americanum. For us, the upright 4' tall fountain of glossy green foliage remains attractive all summer, and serves as a nice background for the 40" tall flowers stalks that begin appearing in mid-August (NC). Each stalk is topped with 9-11, large, flat, outfacing, red and white striped fragrant flowers... quite striking. Crinum 'Red Flare' has the largest flowers of any of the Crinum x digweedii hybrids we've grown... quite stunning.
